# Play Ball Scorebook vs PlayMaker Baseball

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Play Ball Scorebook at 100% against PlayMaker Baseball's 58%. Play Ball Scorebook also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.3). PlayMaker Baseball's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (191 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PlayMaker Baseball sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Play Ball Scorebook asks for nothing beyond the download.

PlayMaker Baseball holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlayMaker Baseball has 191 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Play Ball Scorebook's written reviews are positive against 58% of PlayMaker Baseball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
